This was an experimental image, if you can’t already tell. It felt good to make. Look at the shape of Ludwig’s eyes: they’re real, and they hold a lot of emotion, but they’re still definitely mine. This was me messing about with the gloaming brush beyond all recognition to create a new lineart brush. I’veContinue reading “Visual Diary – The Main Bit of Life”

Performance Project – Day 2
The official day 2 of the performance project was bitty and tiring, but good fun! I was pulled out in the morning to attend a talk about a masters’ degree at the RCA. I reckon Roderick just wanted the numbers up so as not to offend the people who bothered to come out to theContinue reading “Performance Project – Day 2”
Student Rep Adventures – Muppet Night!
This was the first event the student reps have organised this year! I was very excited about it, and really wanted it to go well! I made a poster: The night went so well. We had about 20 people who stayed behind – one first year, too! – and people bought snacks, hot chocolate, weContinue reading “Student Rep Adventures – Muppet Night!”
Visual Diary: Carrying On
There is an explanation for all this. This is right after they’ve cooked for the household. Techo insisted she wanted to stay up downstairs, and asked that they watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The boys concede. Techo immediately falls asleep, and Ludwig carries her upstairs. They’re not invested in the film today. They begin toContinue reading “Visual Diary: Carrying On”
Visual Diary – My Tits are Freezing Off.
Playing with colours. Playing with face shapes and drawing tools. This is stiff. It is not flooby, but all drawing is progress! This art was inspired by a 1750s magenta coat (worn here by Mitzi) sent to me on Instagram. I searched for more 1750s fashion and found a wonderful riding outfit.
Paddington – Meeting with Roderick 2
Roderick was excited by the video! This is interesting progress with me, as although I haven’t wrested complete control over my creative practice, I can now look at something I’ve made and tell if it has that mysterious magic. I’ll call it flooby magic. At a talk today, I felt that familiar feeling of beingContinue reading “Paddington – Meeting with Roderick 2”
Paddington – Maquette
There’s a better word for whatever this is. Mock, idea spoot. Probably not idea spoot. Watching my hands make this was utterly interesting. It was one of those activities where I have a picture in my head, a time frame for getting it across, and I just have to find some way of evidencing movementContinue reading “Paddington – Maquette”
Visual Diary – Welcome to Starbucks
My hand is being pushed to make more reels, since it’s the reels that are getting the views. One that’s doing consistently well now has 26,000 views and 5,000 likes! Always good to practice quickly manipulating moving image.
Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho
Phil has talked to me about kitchen litho before, so it was quite fun closure to get to do a workshop on it with him. A lot of the illustrators I’ve talked to that were in the workshop or have done this module didn’t like kitchen litho much at all. I really quite enjoyed theContinue reading “Lo Fi Printmaking- Kitchen Litho”
Task 2 – Final Video Essay
I enjoyed making this piece overall. It was a blessing and a curse that we had so little time to do it – I would lean on the side of blessing. This is because it’s such a short word count that if I’d had any longer I would probably have overthought it, made too muchContinue reading “Task 2 – Final Video Essay”
